Penn & Teller: Fool Us: Season Five Ratings

Published: October 9, 2018

Two years ago, the Penn & Teller: Fool Us TV show dropped significantly in the ratings, but last year, it rose a bit in both the key demo and audience size. Can it continue to work its Nielsen ratings magic in the fifth season? Will Penn & Teller: Fool Us be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

A CW magic competition series hosted by Alyson Hannigan, Penn & Teller: Fool Us showcases talented magicians performing their acts for comedic illusionists Penn Jillette and Teller. Those who manage to fool the pair win the opportunity to perform in Penn and Teller’s Las Vegas act.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Why does Alyson and Penn and Teller wear the same clothes every week on their show?

All of the segments are taped over a few day period. The segments are chosen and split up between the different episodes on TV. Wearing the same clothes gives the TV watcher that they are watching 1 continuous show.
